I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to isolate genomic DNA from Starfish
tissue. Specifically, I am working with ovary tissue of Asterias Forbesi.
I have tried the standard protocols in Maniatis and have also used
reagents specifically designed to isolate genomic DNA in one
step...none of these methods have worked. If anyone has any
information or has had success in isolating genomic DNA from starfish
could you please e-mail me at rcollito at astro.ocis.temple.edu .
Thanks
